Got a Pebble and an HTC One? I found out why the One unlocks with just a tap.
details
I was getting really annoyed recently with the One's lockscreen because it stopped requiring me swipe when unlocking the phone. Instead, it would unlock when I tap anywhere on the lock screen. This can become problematic when you're controlling the music player from the lockscreen since the phone will unlock once you press any of the buttons.
Apparently, the reason why it does that is because a service in the Accessibility menu is on which would include Tasker, Pebble, Pebble Notifier, etc.... Read more →

If a product fixes most the issues that brought down it's GDGT Score in software updates, could it get its score re-evaluated?
details
I've noticed the main reasons mentioned for the poor score on the Pebble smartwatch are all software based that will most likely be resolved or at least improved upon over time. I'm curious about if the score would be recalculated if it got some big software updates that greatly improved on it and/or the 3rd party tools collection vastly increased.

Pebble and Spotify on Android
details
As a Pebble backer, I was disappointed to find out that Spotify's Android app couldn't be controlled by Pebble.
Luckily the wonderful and talented Hexxeh, of Chrome OS hacking fame, is to the rescue.

I can't try it yet because my Pebble hasn't shipped, but hopefully it will work for you lucky few who have yours.
P.S. If you care about Pebble working with Spotify you can take action here:... Read more →

Responding to Messages
details
I realize that the Pebble has no input method other than the buttons on the side, but has anyone considered developing a canned response app for the watch? In other words, having 10+ pre-written responses (customized by the user) that can be selected from the watch and fired off. For example...
"Be there in X minutes."
"I'll get back to you soon."
"Yes."
"No."
"I'll call you later."
Anything along these lines would be great, as people could respond without needing to whip their phone out of their... Read more →

Is it time to consider buying a smart watch?
details
The idea of a watch that can do more than just tell time is nothing new. Dick Tracy's fictional two-way radio watch dates back to the 1930s, wrist PDAs have been around for as long as there were people willing to wear them (I count myself among that style-challenged demographic), and until it was shut down in January, you could still receive data on SPOT watches via Microsoft's MSN Direct service.
The failure of SPOT (the watches were first introduced in 2004, and were discontinued four years... Read more →
